depends on the needs of your application. generally, don't rely on the user to use your page in a certain order. instead assume that he/she will use your page in random order. the problem of force user to use your page in a certain order is not very reliable. a user can always have multiple windows open and jump betweem them in a random manner.
also, don't check to see if a user accepts cookie or not. just set the cookie without checking it. and then in a later time, you can check to see if the cookie exist or not and act accordingly. there are cookie blocking software out there that sets between a user's browser and your cgi script that makes your cgi script believe that the cookie is accept but your cookie is actually get deleted. checking a browser accepts cookie or not is thus unreliable and cumbersome. david Mariusz wrote: > How can I check if a user accepts cookies before he starts using my > shoppingcart?
